It would take another life
To see what I have done
Have I lived through the best times?
Have I hurt anyone?
Just to do it all over
Make it all rhyme
Like a book with no cover
Like a page out of time
If I had another lifetime
If I had another day
I might have walked a straighter line
I might have known what to say
In another lifetime
In another day
If I say what's on my mind
Would you love me anyway?
Started walking down a one-way-street
Now I can't return
Ain't nobody coming after me
This is the lesson I've learned
I'm no stranger to the bad times
I'll just stand my ground
And remember that the good times
Don't always come back around
If I had another lifetime
If I had another day
I might have walked a straighter line
I might have known what to say
In another lifetime
In another day
If I say what's on my mind
Would you love me anyway?
It would take another life
To see what I have done
Have I lived through the best times?
Have I hurt anyone?
Just to do it all over
Make it all rhyme
Like a book with no cover
Like a page out of time
If I had another lifetime
If I had another day
I might have walked a straighter line
I might have known what to say
In another lifetime
In another day
If I say what's on my mind
Would you love me anyway?
In another lifetime
In another day
If I say what's on my mind

She used to cry just a little each day
She used to feel so alone and betrayed
And she won't feel sorry for the rest of her life
This just might be the day, this just might be the day
Here on a lonely afternoon
The strangest feeling in the room
Will I remember this how it feels right now?
This just might be the day, this just might be the day
Will this be the day?
Maybe this is the day I'll remember
Will this be the way?
Maybe this is the way I'll remember
When she took my hand
And whispered to me, "We can make it"
And I looked in her eyes
I said nothing can take you away
Oh, I've got to believe
In the resurrecting power for me
It can heal your pain, it can blow you away
This just might be the day, this just might be the day
Will this be the day?
Maybe this is the day I'll remember
Will this be the way?
Maybe this is the way I'll remember
When she took my hand
And whispered to me, "We can make our way"
And I looked in her eyes
I said nothing can take you away, yea
Will this be the day?
Maybe this is the day I'll remember
Will this be the way?
Maybe this is the way I'll remember
When she took my hand
And whispered to me, "We can make it"
And I looked in her eyes
I said nothing can take you
Will this be the day?
Maybe this is the day I'll remember
Will this be the way?
Maybe this is the way I'll remember

You held me up, held me down
Made me crazy then you brought me around
Were my darkness and my light
You were my blindness and my sight
Were my shelter and my storm
Made me cold then you made me warm
You were my fever and my cure
Made me doubt and you made me sure
One step forward and two steps back
Nobody gets too far like that
One step forward and two steps back
This kind of dance can never last
You were my hope and my fear
You were my laughter and my tear
Were my destiny and my faith
Kept me movin' and you made me wait
Were my weakness and my power
You were the thorn in the flower
You were my sunshine and the rain
Made me feel so good brought so much pain
Now, one step forward and two steps back
Nobody gets too far like that
One step forward and two steps back
This kind of dance can never last
And we never really meant for each other
We were never really meant to last
In the years that we danced together
Each step forward, we took two steps back
Each step forward, we took two steps back
Now, one step forward and two steps back
Nobody gets too far like that
One step forward and two steps back
This kind of dance can never last
One step forward and two steps back
Nobody gets too far like that
One step forward and two steps back
This kind of dance can never last

Do I have to change my name
Move to another town, start all over again?
Nothing seems to feel the same
Whenever you're around, you treat me like an old friend
Do I have to fake love, do I have to make love
From the punishments and promises you hand to me?
What is this attitude if this is really you?
Then you're not all that you make yourself out to be
I see that you've been courtin' fame
Under another name, tell me where does it end?
Just who's the one you're looking for
Behind that unknown door, should I start over again?
Do I have to fake love, do I have to make love
From the punishments and promises you hand to me?
What is this attitude if this is really you?
Then you're not all that you make yourself out to be
But I've got a brand new life
I've got the song of love
And if only you could share
All that I'm dreaming of
Do I have to fake love, do I have to make love
From the punishments and promises you hand to me?
What is this attitude if this is really you?
Then you're not all that you make yourself out to be
Do I have to change my name
Move to another town, start all over again?
Start all over again, start all over again
Start all over again

The pages of life have never been turned
Till troubles and trials a lesson to learn
Another receiver, a push and a shove
Another believer in the story of love
Written in pain
When the book of love comes down
It's a natural game
Chapter one a careless heart
Sometimes goes astray
Chapter two a broken heart
Will see another day
The pages in this book
Have all been written from above
Be a believer in the story of love
Asking forgiveness for those who condemn
Receiving the power to heal and mend
A light that's gone out still shines from above
For all who believe in the story of love
Chapter one a careless heart
Sometimes goes astray
Chapter two a broken heart
Will see another day
The pages in this book
Have all been written from above

Woke up this morning happy as could be look out my window what did I see
Comin' up my sidewalk was as big as day
Oh well here comes trouble that I never thought I'd see when you went away
Hello trouble come on in
Well you talk about heartaches where the world you've been
I ain't had the mis'ry since you've been gone
Well hello trouble trouble trouble welcome home
[ steel ][ guitar ]
We'll make a cup of coffee and you can rest your shoes
And you can tell me them sweet lies and I'd listen to you
For I'm just a little part of all the life you've lived
But I'd rather have a little bit of trouble than to never know the love you give
Hello trouble come on in...

Don't say you love me,
Don't say you care
You're so far away
Telephone communication,
Only a three minute elation
When I hear your voice
Through love and trust
It's gonna work out fine
The only pain I feel
Is all this time between
You and me, you and me
All the days have turned to years,
Only emphasize my fears
Since you said goodbye
I can hear your voice at night,
I can read the words you write
It's only love
Through love and trust
It's gonna work out fine
The only pain I feel
Is all this time between
You and me, you and me
Now don't say you love me,
Don't say you care
You're so far away
I can hear your voice at night,
I can read the words you write
It's only love
Through love and trust
It's gonna work out fine
The only pain I feel
Is all this time between
You and me, you and me
Through love and trust
It's gonna work out fine
The only pain I feel
Is all this time between
You and me, you and me

I put our little baby to bed last night
She was sleeping real good while
I tucked her in tight
I looked at her once
Then I looked at her twice
Her little legs are longer
And I'm running out of time
The boys are gonna chase her
I'll be standing in line our baby's gone
Up at 7:30 she comes into our room
She wants to make her breakfast
But she can't find her spoon
We wake up and try to shake the sandman
Out of our eyes
She's already got her clothes on much to our surprise
She did it all by herself and we realize our baby's
gone
Three years old and she's the queen of the world
Humpty Dumpty's falling down
Little Jack Horner's on the boredom border
Oh mamma what do we do now
Playing outside her little face to the wind
The hours go by her strength is wearing thin
She doesn't call for daddy she's a big girl now
Her mamma looks in wonder and she don't know how
How our baby girl escaped us no more cuddling now
Our baby's gone
Three years old and she's the queen of the world
Humpty Dumpty's falling down
Little Jack Horner's on the boredom border
Oh mamma what do we do now

Hard times can't hold us down forever
Hard times are gonna fade away
Hard times we can't let them stop us darlin'
There will be a better day
Tell me you love me, these days I need you more than
ever before
Don't give up on me
Nobody else could ever love you more than I do
We all need someone, someone to believe in
This life that we are sharing built on love and trust
If it takes a lifetime I will never stop my trying
To build a better life for us
Hard times can't hold us down forever
Hard times are gonna fade away
Hard times we can't let them stop us darlin'
There will be a better day
There will be a better day
High as the wild birds fly
Wild and free that's how I dream
I got to keep on dreaming
We can have what we cannot see tomorrow
On the highest mountain
On the highest mountain we can watch those wild birds
We can drift away, find our own blue sky
As long as you are with me I'll never stop dreaming
Hard times can't hold us down forever
Hard times are gonna fade away
Hard times we can't let them stop us darlin'
There will be a better day
There will be a better day

The night never looked as dark as this
When the world slipped through you fingertips
I held you close, the tears pouring down
With thought of him spinning around
A spark of life like the wind to a flame
Who can stand and who's to blame
Who are we when we fail to cope
In the bad times is where we find our hope
We cannot answer and we'll never know
What is the basic question grows and grows
It's a lifelong mystery, buried in the sand
It's all a part of God's plan
So hold me tight through this lullabye
There's always tomorrow and the answer is life
Who are we when we fail to cope
In the bad times is where we find our hope
We cannot answer and we'll never know
What is the basic question grows and grows
It's a lifelong mystery, buried in the sand

My home town is filled with broken dreams
Folks back there are running from life it seems
I left as a young man running from a memory
I'm still running, I'll always be running
My father died a broken man by his own hand
One of life's casualities lost in the sand
He showed us a way to love a way to understand
He's finally stopped running, oh he's finally stopped
running
I can still see the fire in his eyes when he held my
mom tight
The love in his heart when he made it all right
Race in his mind that was never won
So if you're gonna run, what you running from
The years flew by like a runaway train
I never caught up I never got used to change
'Cause change is the only thing that I've ever known
I'm still running, yeah, and I'm still running
I can still see the fire in his eyes when he held my
mom tight
The love in his heart when he made it all right
Race in his mind that was never won
So if you're gonna run, what you running from
With my face to the wind I stand all alone
Scattered memories taking all I own
A families love can help you along
But I'll always be running,
Yeah, I'll always be running
I can still see the fire in his eyes when he held my
mom tight
The love in his heart when he made it all right
Race in his mind that was never won
So if you're gonna run, what you running from
The fire in his eyes when he held my mom tight
The love in his heart when he made it all right
Race in his mind that was never won

(Emmylou Harris and The Desert Rose Band)
They tell me I'm the talk of the town,
I've been staying home alone every night.
It's nobody's business where I'm bound,
As if to be alone and lonely just ain't right.
On a old freight train moving down the line,
I'm counting each day and every minute you're away.
I've never been the stay-at-home kind,
But for you, it's just the price that I pay.
It's just the price I pay for loving you;
The price I pay for needing you so much.
The price I pay for leavin' you,
And putting all this time between us.
I knew I was in trouble when we met,
Dark clouds all around me, I couldn't find the light.
These hard times ain't hard to forget;
Now I believe in love at first sight.
I put my heart and soul on the line,
I know that love is with me every day.
Your picture always there on my mind,
But for you it's just the price that I pay.
It's just the price I pay for loving you;
The price I pay for needing you so much.
The price I pay for leavin' you,
And putting all this time between us.
It's just the price I pay for loving you;
The price I pay for needing you so much.
The price I pay for leavin' you,

From my humble point of view
She don't love nobody
Nothing borrowed nothing new
She don't love nobody
Behind the green eyes I detect
She don't love nobody
A heart no kiss could resurrect
She don't love nobody
All her life she's been told to hang on tight
There's a man who'd make her his wife
But she's not interested in anything mama says?
She throws passion to the wind
She don't love nobody
She don't give out but she don't give in
She don't love nobody
And if I could, I'd make her mine
But she don't love nobody
And she would never walk that line
She don't love nobody
All my life I've been told to hang on tight
There's a girl who'd be my wife
But I'm not interested in anything mama says
I want the girl who does not need, she don't love nobody
She's the one my heart receives, she don't love nobody
She don't love nobody, oh, she don't love nobody
She don't love nobody
She don't love nobody
She don't love nobody

I know that sometimes I'm difficult sometimes I'm crazy
I'm like a storm that keeps blowing your way
And I know it's not fair I can't think of a reason to hurt you this way
Words I don't mean cause you sadness
Things that I've done to encourage this madness
Made a fool of myself love's not supposed to happen this way
Shades of blue covering you and turning your sunshine to rain
I keep depending on you to carry me through and color my shades of blue
[ guitar - piano - organ ]
How many times will you forgive me how many storms still lie within me
Say you'll always be there to pick up the pieces of this broken man
When it's all over the air is so still I'm left all by myself and this chill that I feel
When I look in your eyes love's not supposed to happen this way

I don't take it for granted some things that money can't buy
If I'm left empty handed I'll keep walking the line
If it's really forever for a while I've got to pretend
We'll be walking together in a dream that will never end
It takes a believer to hold on to the truth
Tell me you've seen her with somebody new
Don't tell me the story don't tell me the lie
It takes a believer when the well runs dry
I hear the sound of her footsteps I feel the presence within
Takes a lot of forgiveness to fall in love again
It takes a believer...
[ guitar ]
Don't tell me the story...

Do I have to change my name
Move to another town, start all over again?
Nothing seems to feel the same
Whenever you're around, you treat me like an old friend
Do I have to fake love, do I have to make love
From the punishments and promises you hand to me?
What is this attitude if this is really you?
Then you're not all that you make yourself out to be
I see that you've been courtin' fame
Under another name, tell me where does it end?
Just who's the one you're looking for
Behind that unknown door, should I start over again?
Do I have to fake love, do I have to make love
From the punishments and promises you hand to me?
What is this attitude if this is really you?
Then you're not all that you make yourself out to be
But I've got a brand new life
I've got the song of love
And if only you could share
All that I'm dreaming of
Do I have to fake love, do I have to make love
From the punishments and promises you hand to me?
What is this attitude if this is really you?
Then you're not all that you make yourself out to be
Do I have to change my name
Move to another town, start all over again?
Start all over again, start all over again

Anxious eyes wait by the window
She waits, she hears the wind blow
Taking all she has and she knows
It's a cold summer wind
No, it's not the first time
Her heart feels like the last time
A never ending bad rhyme
Like a cold summer wind
Can't you see what I've been through?
All I've done, I've done for you
Can't you see your world won't end?
It's just the summer wind
Daddy's once a week girl
The only one in my world
Dry your eyes and comb your sweet curls
I'll be coming back again
Yeah, your mom and I we both know
Everyday you live, we all grow
Only God can make the wind blow
Like a warm summer wind
Can't you see what I've been through?
All I've done, I've done for you
Can't you see your world won't end?
It's just the summer wind
I know you want us back together
I know what we've put you through
When you hear the wind blow
It'll bring us close to you
Can't you see what I've been through?
All I've done, I've done for you
Can't you see your world won't end?
It's just the summer wind
Can't you see what I've been through?
(Can't you see what I?)
All I've done, I've done for you
Can't you see what I've been through?
(Can't you see what I?)
All I've done, I've done for you
Can't you see your world won't end?

She started out a rodeo queen,
Future looked just fine
Fell in love with a boy in school,
Married an assembly line
They were huntin' down the American dream
Wonderin' where it'd gone
When they found themselves
To be fair game lost their home
He was laid off on a Friday night went out
Drinkin' with his friends
She stayed in the car with the kids all night,
He never came back again
Oh what was she to do,
Where was she to go
Is home really were the heart is
When the heart can't feel at home
Homeless, her and her family
Homeless, is this the way of livin' free
And her house is an abandoned car
At the side of the road
Homeless, will she find where that road goes
Her time is now so precious,
She hunts for work and food
Their clothes are torn and tattered,
So her kids stay out of school
She looks for hope under every can
"At the sound of the tone
Just leave a message. We'll call you back"
But they know she's not at home
Homeless, her and her family
Homeless, is this the way of livin' free
And her house is an abandoned car
At the side of the road
Homeless, will she find where that road goes
In this land of milk and honey
We share with all who need
Except the ones outside our door,
The ones we cannot see
It's the proud, the true,
The faithful left out in the cold
It's people just like you and me
At the end of the road
Homeless, her and her family
Homeless, is this the way of livin' free
And her house is an abandoned car
At the side of the road
Homeless, will she find where that road goes

It's morning, she wakes me with a soft loving sigh
Like the sun shining through the western sky
She holds me close against her breast,
Such a sweet lullabye
And I'll love her until time passes me by
She's a precious thing, a gift from God
How can one be so true
In a world filled with helpliness and gloom
And no one knows just how I feel
Just a personal reply
And I'll love her, until time passes me by
Cloudy and blue
Our love shining through
A light from above Heaven's love
Timeless and true
From ages past and times to come
Love will always be alive
Healing hands of time for those who try
I was helpless and so confused
You came into my life

You turn away, you won't look at me
You seem to think that I just can't see
I was hopin' he was out of your heart
But he's still calling you
Now, he's back and I'm blue
I forgot about yesterday
Those memories seem so far away
All it took was just a whisper to start
Flame burning anew
Now, he's back and I'm blue
Ooh, that old feelin'
Fillin' up your dreams again
Ooh, it comes stealin'
Takin' you away
I guess, there's nothing left for me to do
I can't stop it from livin' in you
'Cause the past can only pull us apart
Still you carry it through
Now, he's back and I'm blue
Ooh, that old feelin'
Fillin' up your dreams again
Ooh, it comes stealin'
Takin' you away
You turn away, you won't look at me
You seem to think that I just can't see
I was hopin' he was out of your heart
But he's still calling you
Now, he's back and I'm blue
Now, he's back and I'm blue

I went back to my hometown Christmas snow was on the ground
Saw the girl who used to be everything in the world to me
We went down to my old school walked the halls remembering the rules
Thought of friends who used to be everything in the world to me
My family moved far away we never did return
That girl found someone else to love here's the one thing that I've learned
You can go home and that's a fact you can go home but you can't go back
[ guitar - steel ]
Saw the house where she used to live saw the park where we first kissed
Saw the dreams that used to be everything in the world to me
Everything in the world to me now just a faded memory
All these years I heard it calling me
You can go home and that's a fact you can go home but you can't go back
You can go home and that's a fact that's a fact

She used to cry just a little each day
She used to feel so alone and betrayed
And she won't feel sorry for the rest of her life
This just might be the day, this just might be the day
Here on a lonely afternoon
The strangest feeling in the room
Will I remember this how it feels right now?
This just might be the day, this just might be the day
Will this be the day?
Maybe this is the day I'll remember
Will this be the way?
Maybe this is the way I'll remember
When she took my hand
And whispered to me, "We can make it"
And I looked in her eyes
I said nothing can take you away
Oh, I've got to believe
In the resurrecting power for me
It can heal your pain, it can blow you away
This just might be the day, this just might be the day
Will this be the day?
Maybe this is the day I'll remember
Will this be the way?
Maybe this is the way I'll remember
When she took my hand
And whispered to me, "We can make our way"
And I looked in her eyes
I said nothing can take you away, yea
Will this be the day?
Maybe this is the day I'll remember
Will this be the way?
Maybe this is the way I'll remember
When she took my hand
And whispered to me, "We can make it"
And I looked in her eyes
I said nothing can take you
Will this be the day?
Maybe this is the day I'll remember
Will this be the way?

I said baby are you crazy
I don't know what's come over you
She said baby sure don't love you
For making me feel like I do
Stray words from a stranger
Tears falling down
Like a dull knife in a fresh wound
This poison is spreading around
It's just a memory from the wild side
Another life from long ago
My hands are tied,
My soul is bound to a voice
I can't control
Now baby will you listen
There's more than meets the eye
This is threatening what we live for
Is this suspicion worth a lie
What is this tense, I do mean present
Cause you´re haunted by the past
And the truth is all that matters
Our vows were made to last
It's just a memory from the wild side
Another life from long ago
My hands are tied,
My soul is bound to a voice
I can't control
Turn it loose, this is growing old
What's the use let the dice roll
Where they may, two hearts lay

Ashes of love, cold as ice
You made the debt and I'll pay the price
Our love is gone, there's no doubt
Ashes of love, the flame burned out
A love light that gleams in your eyes
Has gone out to my surprise
Now we said goodbye.
My heart bled
I can't revive a love that's dead
Ashes of love, cold as ice
You made the debt and I'll pay the price
Our love is gone, there's no doubt
Ashes of love, the flame burned out
Now I trusted you, our love would stay
Your every wish was my command
And my heart tells me
I must forget
I loved you then.
I'll love you yet
Ashes of love, cold as ice
You made the debt and I'll pay the price
Our love is gone, there's no doubt
Ashes of love, the flame burned out
Ashes of love, cold as ice
You made the debt and I'll pay the price
Our love is gone, there's no doubt
Ashes of love, the flame burned out

We keep it all inside cause there's nowhere left to hide
Don't worry it's all right just close the door and lock it tight
Behind these walls those teardrops fall
We play the part so well sometimes it's hard to tell
That we are both alone we smile they all know
Behind these walls where teardrops fall
We keep pretending it's not over
But the rivers overflowing how long can we keep this going
The look in your eyes has gone that we keep holding on
I guess we should confess we could find happiness
Tear down these walls where teardrops fall
[ guitar ]
I guess we should confess...

Over the years I've tried to be a better man
Over the tears that I've lied and I've cried
Over the hill they say lies the better land and I know we can survive
Come a little closer we can make it all work out tonight
Come a little closer make me see it will be alright
Come a little closer we can have it all tonight
[ guitar ]
People drift apart when they're feeling lonely
And lovers drift apart when they're running scared
Strangers in the night beckon to you only whisper my name and I'll be there
Oh won't you come a little closer...
[ guitar ]
Come a little closer...
Oh when your touch is cold and time lies between us it hurts so bad just barely alive
We cannot let our wonderings deceive us heaven knows we can survive
Come a little closer...
Oh won't you come a little closer oh yeah come a little closer

There's trouble on the streets in this land of the free
Freedom has a price and you know it don't come cheap
When our children are tempted left all alone
Seeking the values they can't find at home
There's darkness on the playground where did right go
wrong
It's nobodys fault but it's here just the same
Some kind of disease and no one takes the blame
Oh you can say to me what's the use
Play too hard you know you'll light the fire
There's darkness on the playground will we win or will we
lose
Darkness taking all of your dreams
Living in shadows is not what it seems
Hold on hold me you don't have to die
Arms out reaching for a new life
To turn away is easy to follow only fools
And the way back in is hard it's a brand new set of rules
I can't show you any more lies
I only hope that you realize
There's darkness on the playground and nothing left to

They're building him up
You see his face on TV
He's turning up
In every magazine
Got his sights set on you
He's a man of renown
But you're nobody's fool
Cause you've been around
Now he's everybody's hero
The talk of the town
Everybody's hero let you down
Just another hero on the ground
You knew him when
he was nothing at all
You remember a friend
Who never thought he could fall
And the world looked so dim
When you opened your eyes
You watched his will to win
Cut him down to size
Now he's everybody's...
Too late to worry
When you're standing tall
Too soon to cry

Run in the night, hide in the shadows
Make a new life, escape from the battle
Is it justice they seek that we all take for granted
A fair shape in a world so slanted towards the rich man
From the jungles and the towns south of the border
Treated like dogs in the name of law and order
Their prayers ever heard is their pain ever felt
No answers to be found, is there anyone around except
the rich man
Oh my loved ones, don´t be cheated
Take your children, don´t be defeated
All alone in a world so strange
So much to lose, so much to gain
Children are hungry their leaders are blind
Color of money makes a man find
The way to exist in a world gone crazy
A way to survive in the battle he wages with the rich
Oh my loved ones, don´t be cheated
Take your children, don´t be defeated
All alone in a world so strange
So much to lose, so much to gain
Oh my loved ones, don´t be cheated
Take your children, don´t be defeated
All alone in a world so strange
So much to lose, so much
So much to lose, so much

Can't you see through this heart of mine
I want it to be right this time
Glass hearts will break
'Cause they're made of sand
I handled her so carefully
Love so fragile can't you see
Glass hearts will break
'Cause they're made of sand
I just can't leave well enough alone
Can we make it can we make it
I don't want to be the shattered on
Is she thinking of another one
Two people walking down the avenue
She needs him he needs her too
I got to find my own true love ways
I don't want to walk a one way walk
I don't want to talk a one way talk
I want to live through the sand hand in hand
Only love can set you free
I opened up so she can see
My glass heart will break
'Cause it's made of sand
I just can't leave well enough alone
Can we make it can we make it
I don't want to be the shattered on
Is she thinking of another one
I don't want to set my soul on fire
Caught up in this wild desire
My glass heart will break
'Cause it's made of sand
My glass heart will break
'Cause it's made of sand
My glass heart will break

Here's a story about an angry man
Never knew about love
And there's that part of every man
That understands what I'm speaking of
He thought the world of her and never knew why
She would always turn away
Just when she needed him
She'd walk away and cry
She knew that there was
Nothing she could say, to him
Can you hear me, can you see me
All that I have dies within me
Heartbreaking forsaking
The glory and power of love
Maybe I'm angry and I don't know why
I never have the words to say
And every time that you walk away and cry
We never seem to find our own way
Diamonds and rubies are a girl's best friend
But what do they really need
A mighty warrior with an ear that bends
A heart of gold that will never bleed, I can say
Can you hear me, can you see me
All that I have dies within me
Heartbreaking forsaking
The glory and power of love
I can say
Can you hear me, can you see me
All that I have dies within me
Heartbreaking forsaking
The glory and power of love
Can you hear me, can you see me
All that I have dies within me
Heartbreaking forsaking

It's a true love not a new love that makes my life so much better
Tried and proven down through the ages
And it's guaranteed to keep us all together
Little children teach us so much remind us of what we've been missing
Something precious left behind us gathering dust while we've been drifting
I think you know what I'm speaking of
When you're down on your knees all alone in the night
Would you turn away hey from a true love
There's not a man of us alive who can deny true love
[ guitar ]
Without the blessing of a true love a life so cold and uncaring
It's the message for a lifetime and the sweetest gift of life is the caring
I think you know...
[ guitar ]
I think you know...

This has been the longest night I've ever known
It's so long since I felt this alone
Sometimes I just can't see the way things are supposed to be
Now that the twilight has gone
Now there is nothing left to say there you go you have it your own way
Been in the dark so long we couldn't see where it went wrong
Now that the twilight is gone
The first step is the hardest part where do we take it from here
Only after a hardened heart do tears finally disappear
And I'm on my own now that the twilight is gone
[ ac.guitar - dobro ]
Lonely nights and crazy days we sure let it slip away
Just tell me life goes on is there a new day with every dawn
Now that the twilight is gone now that the twilight is gone

She rarely ventures from her door
Staring at the dress she wore
A bridal gown from yesterday
Her dreams have drifted away
Unforgiving and forsaking
Thoughts that keep her heart from making
There's pleasure in her misery
She locked the door and hid the key
Livin' in the house she grew up in
Safely out of harm's way
A prisoner of her emotions
In a prison made of clay
On the day they were to marry
She paced the floor, began to worry
And as time passed that day
She knew her love had gone away
He left no rhyme, left no reason
Left her alone still believin'
In a life they built to stay
Now a prison made of clay
Livin' in the house she grew up in
Safely out of harm's way
A prisoner of her emotions
In a prison made of clay
Livin' in the house she grew up in
Safely out of harm's way
A prisoner of her emotions
In a prison made of clay
Livin' in the house she grew up in
So close at home with her pain
The walls can always crumble
To set her free once again

If you want some good advice, don't let her go
She's the one who stood by you
What is this thing you both have become
That leaves love undecided
Don't walk away, don't run from yourself
It's not her for somebody else
It's not a rainbow, you see through tears in your eyes
Don't think love is one sided
Word that were spoken never to be broken
To walk as one for a lifetime
Then comes the doubt and all those greener pasture
That leaves love undecided
Don't walk away, don't run from yourself
It's not her for somebody else
It's not a rainbow, you see through tears in your eyes
Don't think love is one sided
The earth is worn her sides are torn and tattered
Like the sand the ocean gathers
They are as one and no divinely God
Believe in love reunited
Don't walk away, don't run from yourself
It's not her for somebody else
It's not a rainbow, you see through tears in your eyes
Don't think love is one sided

When the mood is quiet somewhere usually late at night
I've got time to think about what you've been saying
If it looks like I don't listen doesn't mean that I don't care
In your heart you know I'll always be there
For the sake of conversation are you trying to release
All the feelings deep inside that you've been hiding
It used to be so easy to open up our hearts
We always had a silent understanding
What has tamed this burning fire that started long ago
What has taken our desire to believe
If we're meant to be together we should try to make it right
Holdin' on is all we've got today no one else should ever feel this way
[ guitar ]
I've forgotten more than many you've remembered quite a lot
That's why it really matters what we're saying
Don't be led astray by others always listen to your heart
The dreams we hold together are worth saving
What has tamed this burning fire...
[ guitar - steel ]
What has tamed this burning fire...

Once more to be with you dear
Just for tonight to hold you tight
Once more I'd give a fortune
If I could see you once more
Forget the past this hurt can't last
Oh I don't want it to keep us apart
Your love I'll crave I'll be your slave
If you'd just give me all of your heart
Once more to be with you dear
Just for tonight to hold you tight
Once more I'd give a fortune
If I could see you once more
Forget the past this hurt can't last
Oh I don't want it to keep us apart
Your love I'll crave I'll be your slave
If you'd just give me all of your heart
Once more to be with you dear
Just for tonight to hold you tight
Once more I'd give a fortune
If I could see you once more
If I could see you once more

Well the farthest place you think you can run to won't be too far from me
And the longest distance from here to the sun won't be too long for me
Oh oh oh I ain't taking no prisoners hearing no alibis
Oh oh oh you can run from me hide from me
You know it's just a matter of time
I'm no stranger I'm no danger I've been all around this world
I'm no friend to the lying lowdown who try and lay claim to my world
Oh oh oh won't somebody tell her she's been way out of line
Oh oh oh you can run from me hide from me you know it's just a matter of time
I'm just the same old guy I used to be no better no worse
I'm just the same old long lost lover tryin' to make things work yeah
[ guitar ]
I'm no believer in things that deceive her leavin' her broken and blind
I'll be around when it all goes down you know it's just a matter of time
Oh oh oh won't somebody tell her...
Oh oh oh won't somebody tell her...

I've been making lots of friend
Got to learn to begin again
Learn to take it on the chin
I've been missing you
I've learned to go out at night
Trying hard not to fight
I'll keep on till I get it right
And I've been missing you
Lateley I've stopped growing
Lately it's been showing
You watch me like you're knowing
I've been missing you again
Trying not to think so much
I know it's just a mental crutch
I get to thinking about your touch
Cause I've been missing you
Got no goodness to redeem
All I do is think and dream
When we were walking as a team
And I was kissing you
My old friends won't let me down
My old friends are still around
They'll stay by me when I'm down
Cause I'm still missing you
Have you been away that long
Am I judging this all wrong
I might as well be up and gone
I'll keep on missing you

[ with Allison Kraus ]
How many lovers in lifetimes've gone like clothing that we wear
Long after it's worn out with love undying love undying love
Life had no meaning till I gave you mine
Now the red rose and green briar have entwined
With love undying love undying love
[ ac.guitar - steel ]
The light in the window is keeping us warm
And inside my heart is a raging storm of love

I know things are different then they were in '65
When the music came from the heart and kept our
thoughts alive.
With the songs we were singing we tried to change the
world
Oh, how can we sing our songs.
We marched on Alabama, we died in Ohio
We were the restless generation and now we're in
control
Of the younger ones, who are hungry for things of this
world
Oh, how can we sing our songs.
Let us sing our songs the way they're meant to be,
Our troubles and trials in three-part harmony.
The road is paved with gold, if you do all that you're
told,
Oh, how can we sing our songs.
Now we are older and we've raised our families
And our young sons are reaching out for something they
can't see,
They can't hear it on the radio or watchin' MTV,
Oh, how can we sing our songs.
Let us sing our songs the way they're meant to be,
Our troubles and trials in three-part harmony.
The road is paved with gold, if you do all that you're
told,
Oh, how can we sing our songs.
How much do we compromise in what we want to say
How much creativity did we loose along the way
We tried to shape the world like a sculptor with one
hand,
Oh, how can we sing our songs.
Let us sing our songs the way they're meant to be,
Our troubles and trials in three-part harmony.
The road is paved with gold, if you do all that you're
told,
Oh, how can we sing our songs.

You held me up, held me down
Made me crazy then you brought me around
Were my darkness and my light
You were my blindness and my sight
Were my shelter and my storm
Made me cold then you made me warm
You were my fever and my cure
Made me doubt and you made me sure
One step forward and two steps back
Nobody gets too far like that
One step forward and two steps back
This kind of dance can never last
You were my hope and my fear
You were my laughter and my tear
Were my destiny and my faith
Kept me movin' and you made me wait
Were my weakness and my power
You were the thorn in the flower
You were my sunshine and the rain
Made me feel so good brought so much pain
Now, one step forward and two steps back
Nobody gets too far like that
One step forward and two steps back
This kind of dance can never last
And we never really meant for each other
We were never really meant to last
In the years that we danced together
Each step forward, we took two steps back
Each step forward, we took two steps back
Now, one step forward and two steps back
Nobody gets too far like that
One step forward and two steps back
This kind of dance can never last
One step forward and two steps back
Nobody gets too far like that
One step forward and two steps back

One that got away came and tracked me down
What she had in mind, one for finer times
She always used to move me that way
She said
"What I'm looking to do is get my hands on you
And I'd be livin' a lie to say that I
Have the feelin' too"
That's why I'm sighin' in the night
Her dancing eyes laughin' so bright
And if she gets away from me again
I'll miss her till the end, if I'm right
I should go home tonight
Living in a lonesome town
She married late and settled down
I raised a family, found security
We loved what we call our own
I used to call her mine
We were so young and so fine
But do I want to stop two life-long broken hearts
And come together one last time
That's why I'm sighin' in the night
Her dancing eyes laughin' so bright
And if she gets away from me again
I'll miss her till the end, if I'm right
I should go home tonight
Hold you tonight and I throw my life away
Kids and a wife for the touch of yeterday
That's why I'm sighin' in the night
Her dancing eyes laughin' so bright
And if she gets away from me again
I'll miss her till the end, if I'm right
I should go home tonight
I should go home tonight
I should go home tonight

Diamonds are so pretty,
Rubies are so red
My baby's gone and left me,
She's made another's bed
I can't believe this misery,
Sneaks up on you real slow
If she's the one in trouble
Why's it me that has to go
I don't want to leave this town
I'm not the one to blame
Leaving all my friends behind
In sorrow and shame
I thought that we were happy,
I thought our love was true
A better life you couldn't find
Speak on like lovers do
Taken by the devil
To another man's arms
Held captive by his richness
And shackled by his charms
I don't want to leave this town
I don't want to know
Leaving all my friends behind
I don't want to go
I can't pretend, love's lost again
And I don't know what I'm gonna do
It's just breakin' my heart in two
Oh, I don't want to leave this town
I'm not the one to blame
Leaving all my friends behind
In sorrow and shame
I can't pretend, love's lost again
And I don't know what I'm gonna do
It's just breakin' my heart in two
No, I don't want to leave this town
I don't want to go
Leaving all my friends behind
I don't want to know
I don't want to leave this town
I don't want to know
Leaving all my friends behind

Beautiful lier, heartless survivor
Where are you taking me now?
Smooth operator, do it all later
When will you ever come down?
I still believe in you now somehow
I still believe in you now
We've been together, year and forever
You should know me by now
There's trouble in my mind
I can't find the right lines, get to you somehow
I still believe in you now somehow
I still believe in you now
And that feeling that I get inside
Every time I see the sun in your eyes
Then the moon starts to crying, our hearts not denying
A feeling we can hold through the night
Beautiful dreamer, make my life sweeter
Dream a song in my heart
I'm running on empty, I know you've been tempted
Close the door from the start
I still believe in you now somehow
I still believe in you now
And that feeling that I get inside
Every time I see the sun in your eyes
Then the moon starts to crying, our hearts not denying
Feeling we can hold through the night
Beautiful lier, heartless survivor
Where are you taking me now?
Smooth operator, do it all later
When will you ever come down?
I still believe in you now somehow
I still believe in you now
I still believe in you now somehow

My baby don't take prisoners
She leaves the walking wounded for the others girls
She's a spark in the dark out on the back lot
Shoot you down if you give her a whirl
Seems like she's seen it all before
And what she hasn't seen she's heard of
So keep your secrets hidden
I got my heart out on my sleeve and an eye on the door
I'm gonna step on out step on out
I would tramp all over this town for a dime a dance
I'm gonna step on out step on out
She's front page news in her dancing shoes
A screaming headliner romance
My baby dances through life
She's a sidewalk ballerina
She takes in all in stride
Just a New York City ladies only sin is pride
I'm gonna step on out step on out
I will tramp all over this town for a dime a dance
I'm gonna step on out step on out
She's front page news in her dancing shoes
A screaming headliner romance
Oooh, oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh, oooh
